Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 8 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of June 2-8, which brings along with it a new party member, a new full moon operation, and some important story and character-building moments.

Before we get to that climactic final day of this week in P3R, Jonathon and Tom break down what they did throughout the rest of the week. There's plenty of free time to discuss how social links are progressing, jobs, and more. But even beyond that, there are several key character and story-related moments of Persona 3 Reload to dive into for the week.

That naturally includes some of the continued investigation of what spooooky ghost goings-on may be, well, going on at Geoukkan High, as well as the re-appearance of a mysterious character as the player, Yukari, and Junpei venture out on a risky adventure.

Then, of course, the hosts dig into this week's full moon, including a dive into the events involving Fuuka Yamagishi, some startling revelations (for the characters, at least), and just how tough Mitusuru and Yukari are. As the full moon arrives, we break down our thoughts on the next boss battle, how the members of S.E.E.S. are handling things, and some of your thoughts on the adventure of the week! Plus, we of course have a new Pop Quiz, some listener comments, and more.

For those looking to play along, the next episode of Take Your Time will cover the events of June 9-15!

Yes, summer is in full swing (despite it not officially starting for a couple of more weeks), so the students of Geoukkan High get a chance to show off the latest season's fashion. But, of course, there's also a full week of free time to discuss! Jonathon and Tom run through what they do each day of this final week of May and the first day of June, including discussions around new Social Links for both hosts, some social stat rank ups, and more.

But the week isn't only about free time. While there aren't necessarily major story milestones, there are plenty of character-building moments to dive into this week. Tom and Jonathon discuss some hilarious Junpei moments, an important evening with Akihiko, and some new goings-on at school. Perhaps most importantly, Tom finally finds out what happens when the fridge has some free space in it!

As we're also just about to head into a new full moon, we spend some time this week digging into the next section of Tartarus, including Tom's first impressions. Plus we've also got some listener comments and questions, a new Pop Quiz, and more.

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 6 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of May 18-25, which includes the inaugural midterms, as well as a couple of days after exams with some free time to spare. And, yes, despite joking about having such a quick week to cover, this show is somehow longer than last week's.

Take Your Time's sixth episode focuses in on the midterm exams that the P3R main character and their fellow S.E.E.S. members must partake in. The exams themselves offer a unique respite and shakeup to the Persona 3 Reload formula, so Tom and Jonathon talk about how they feel about the exams' inclusion, a little bit about the questions themselves, and of course how they fared in taking them.

After P3R's midterms are over, though, the duo dives into a few days of free time, which allow us to pick up with our regularly scheduled social link opportunities. But that's not all these few extra days offer, as Jonathon and Tom also discuss the introduction of gardening to P3R's calendar, as well as exam results day, and a couple teases of story here and there. But with such a relatively quick in-game set of days, the duo answers plenty of YOUR questions, with topics ranging from notetaking to NG+ to food and so much more. And, of course, Tom offers another Pop Quiz question before closing out the week.

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 5 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of May 12-17, which includes plenty of free time in the leadup to our first exams with P3R's inaugural midterms!

Take Your Time's fifth episode revolves around the quest for Academics, as Jonathon and Tom race against the clock to see if they can win Mitsuru's favor as smart boys or be forever cast aside as dummies among the S.E.E.S. Crew. More specifically, the two break down how they spent their days ahead of exams in Persona 3 Reload's month of May. This includes everything from learning about the May blues and other science experiments (leading to some personal study tangents), to how they spent afternoons and evenings with a limited set of social link opportunities available.

The hosting duo also digs a bit into two new storytelling devices introduced this week, with the arrival of both linked episodes and study sessions. The two dissect the differences between these and standard social links in Persona 3 Reload, and discuss the climactic showdown as they study to their brains' content and hope for the fabled level 3 Academics. Plus, they answer some fan questions and read listener comments, introduce a new trivia question, and offer a shocking (aka, not that shocking) apology from Jonathon.

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 4 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of May 5-11, which includes our first full moon operation as a member of S.E.E.S., plenty of free time, and the introduction of Elizabeth's Requests!

Small spoiler warning: We discuss Kenji's social link storyline from 29:21-32:31 and 35:18-36:34, covering some information from his third major hangout. We also briefly discuss a Persona 5 confidant during these timestamps as well. Skip over them if you haven't experienced them yet!

Take Your Time's fourth episode revolves around a big breakdown of the events of May 9 in-game, including how S.E.E.S. tackles an unexpected challenge, Tom and Jonathon's thoughts on this first "event" moment for the gang, and the character implications of what transpires. We dig into what is and isn't working narratively, mechanically, and emotionally for us so far, including how Persona 3 Reload's May operation has marked a shift in Tom's expectations going forward.

We also dig into Persona 3 Reload's latest batch of free time, including some free time hangouts with Kenji, Maya, and more. Tom and Jonathon discuss what it's like to attend P3R's club, how Elizabeth's requests are introduced, and answer some fan questions. Plus, Tom introduces a new catchphrase.

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 3 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of April 28 - May 4, as well as our first impressions of P3R's Tartarus dungeon. The duo dives into a full week of free time in the world of Persona 3 Reload, discussing our continuing experience with some Confidants, how we're spending evenings now with the introduction of the internet to the Iwatodai dorm, and what we're prioritizing in the early weeks of the game.

Take Your Time's fourth episode also dips a little into the brief looks into the story this week, including some new details to Akihiko's life, daily school goings-on, and much more. But of course, we also use this week to offer our first thoughts on Tartarus! Going through the first 20 floors, Tom offers his first considerations of Persona 3 Reload's dungeon, while Jonathon tries desperately hard to not spoil his overall feelings and stick to the first section. The duo digs into Tartarus' challenges, Twilight Fragments, structure, randomness, Shuffle Time, and plenty more. The two hosts also dive into some questions from our Patreon patrons, offer a new trivia question, and maybe come up with a t-shirt idea.
